Jigsaw is a Charity, a Company limited by guarantee and a HSE Section 39 agency. Jigsaw receives funding from the HSE and from fundraising. Further details on all income and governance matters is available in our 2016 annual report via our website www.jigsaw.ie
Our Jigsaw Service is currently in 13 communities across Ireland providing early intervention supports to young people aged 12-25. Along with the direct supports within the community setting we provide capacity building and education and training to a wide range of groups, including young people. We represent an innovative approach to promoting and supporting youth mental health, in line with best practices of clinical, financial and operational governance. Youth participation is a guiding principle of Jigsaw’s work and is a central feature of the design and planning of all Jigsaw projects. Jigsaw is closely guided by a nationwide network of 130+ Youth Advisors, aged between 16-25, who help guide our strategy, recruit our people, inform our research, ensure we are relevant to those we aim to support and are central to our work in reducing the stigma that surrounds mental health.
